[NWSL: Week 16] The Seattle Reign FC can
move closer to its first NWSL title with a win over the visiting Portland Thorns FC on Sunday. Seattle's magic number is seven points as a combination of seven points earned by the Reign or lost by FC
Kansas City will give it the 2014 NWSL Shield.

FC Kansas City is the only team that can catch the Reign after the Thorns, the 2013 champions, were held to a 1-1 draw on the road Wednesday
against the Washington Spirit in a match that was delayed nearly two hours due to weather. Alex Morgan scored her fifth goal, to go along with four assists, in
nine starts this season for Portland in the tie.

Sunday's game will match the NWSL's two best offenses against each other. Seattle's Kim Little and
Portland's Jessica McDonald are tied for the league scoring lead with Washington'sJodie Taylor with 11 goals each.

In goal will be two of the world's best keepers: Hope Solo for Seattle and German Nadine Angerer, the 2013 FIFA Women's Player of the Year, for Portland. In the first meeting
between the teams, Solo made eight saves in a 1-0 Seattle victory.

The Thorns lead Washington and Chicago by two points in the battle for the third and fourth playoff spots.
